Vladimir Motin accused of gross negligence manslaughter after his ship struck Stena Immaculate tanker on Monday

Motin was the master of the Ernst Russ-operated 804-teu Solong (built 2005) that collided with a Stena Bulk tanker on Monday off the northeast English coast. UK prosecutors named the seafarer who died in the collision as Mark Angelo Pernia, a Filipino crew member on the Portuguese-flagged Solong.

Mark Angelo Pernia, 38, has been named as the crew member who is still missing after the crash between the Solong container ship and the US oil tanker, the Crown Prosecution Service said. Thirty-six people from both vessels made it ashore.
